All Animal Expo
LA Investor Trip
LA Investor Trip
Our first major event this year was the All Animal Expo. It showed us just how large, welcoming, and diverse a pet network could be offline. This is where we first introduced Petwrk to the public and started gaining increased interest from potential users.

We also attended The Dog Stop's Open House. We were able to connect with more pet owners, sell handmade pet bandanas, and reach out to more members of our local community and inform them of our pet app.
